  • About

A wise man always eats well.

Chinese proverb

Every now and then a sensitive intelligent thoughtful person feels very mournful about his country and, deciding with Brillat-Savarin that “The destiny of nations depends upon what and how they eat,” he begins to question.
Why, he asks, are we so ungastronomic as a nation?

Why do we permit and even condone the feeble packaged bread that our men try to keep strong on! [And women ... and, worst of all, children!]

Why do we let our millers rob the wheat of all its goodness, and then buy the wheat germ for one thousand times its value from our druggists so that our children may be strong and healthy?
